Frequently Asked Questions
For the Novice Cook Who Isn't Sure Where to Get Started
We have answers for you!
Where should I start?
→ Check out the Kitchen-Reference guide to learn the definitions of various kitchen terms (like what the heck is folding?), what pan to use if you don't have the one you need, and even how many tablespoons in a cup...etc. Â

Do I have to be experienced to cook your recipes?
No way! We believe that home cooks of all levels should feel confident and supported in their cooking journey." — that includes you! We just ask that you follow the directions, have fun, and watch for the tips and tutorials that we've included for novice cooks. I think our Short-Cut Cooking recipes are the perfect place for you to start looking for new recipes. And don't miss the Learn to Cook section as the perfect starting place for learning new skills!
Are there any tools you recommend I have in my kitchen before I get started?
A large mixing bowl, whisk, chef's knife, baking sheet, and skillet should get you started on most recipes. As you do more cooking & baking you'll find yourself building on the basic supplies you need to. In fact, check out my essential supplies list for a tiny kitchen. This list was created when we were renting and I had to condense my supplies down a TON. This list will give you a great place to start as well as tell you how you can multi-purpose several tools, if needed.
To learn more about the tools and supplies I keep on hand in my own current kitchen, check out what's In the NellieBellie Cupboard for links and info.
How do you stock your pantry to be ready to cook any meal?
You'll want to keep some basic baking and cooking ingredients on hand. Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, oil, salt, pepper, bouillon, pasta or rice, and canned beans are some items most people find useful. As you start using recipes you'll learn more of what ingredients would be helpful to keep in your pantry.
If you want to learn more now, check out what I keep stocked In the NellieBellie Cupboard.
Do you have recipes for special diets? Where can I find them?
We have LOTS of recipes for Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free diets. On the recipe index page we have an easy button to sort via diet. You'll find lots of great recipes!Â
